Question
Is it possible to use vbs to create a .txt file listing the drive letters on a computer (no mapped drives or DVD drives, etc.)
All I have been able to find so far results in a message box...
Regards,

Answer
Yes, you need to enumerate the Drives collection and then just use standard File I/O to write your text file. It can be done. I teach writing text files in my VB tutorials. I don't have any sample code handy, but I'm sure you can find it with a Google search.

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
